ROM Shoulder IR 90 deg

Position: Position your client lying on their back with the test arm abducted to 90°, elbow flexed to 90°, and forearm pointing up (vertical). The upper arm should be level with the shoulder and supported to prevent scapular movement. Hold the tablet against the forearm, just above the wrist.

Cues: Rotate your forearm down towards the floor as far as you can, keeping your shoulder and upper arm flat and steady. Hold when you reach your maximum.

Procedure

Step 1 – Press START on the side you are testing.
Step 2 – Place the tablet against the forearm in the starting vertical position (forearm straight up).
Step 3 – Tap the LINE icon near the distal end of the forearm to begin angle capture.
Step 4 – Instruct the client to slowly rotate the forearm downward (internally rotating the shoulder) to end range.
Step 5 – When they reach end range, tap the screen to capture the angle.
Step 6 – Tap SAVE to record the result.
Step 7 – Repeat steps 1–6 on the other side.
